Fall 2017 10k Trail Program

It's gritty. You will get dirty.. It's hilly. You'll get in those "bonus miles". And, it's AWESOME. We are offering one standard track for this 10K trail program group. This is a unique training program specifically designed for trail runners; people who don't shy away from getting their running shoes dirty, enjoy the challenge of running the hills, who hanker for a glimpse of a coyote or an eagle, and who look forward to spectacular views you only find on trails around the area. We will be taking the team on fun and challenging trails around the North State. This 10 week program will target the Napa Wine Country 10k held on October 21st 2017. This race takes place in Calistoga, CA so plan on getting a hotel or AirBNB asap. We'll start at 3 miles and work our way up to 7 or 8 miles, are you ready?!

Program Kickoff and Fun Run: Tuesday, August 15th at 6:15PM at Fleet Feet Sports. Meet the coaches, get information about the program, and get geared up with the latest trail running gear to start your training. We will be going on your first workout run, so come prepared to run.

Requirements: This program is for experienced runners. Team members must start the program injury free, wear and carry appropriate trail running clothing, shoes, and gear. To join this 10K team, you must must have completed a recent 10K race, because we will build to about 8 miles! Trail is very different and a lot more technical than "road running".This ensures the coaches can keep the group together and safe. We encourage team members to carpool to destination group runs. All participants must be at least 18 years of age.

Goal Races: We will be targeting the Napa Wine Country 10K trail run on Saturday October 21st, 2017. I recommend finding lodging in the area as soon as you register for the race! If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Shawna at shawna@fleetfeetchico.com
